What's new in MetaTrader 5

Terminal

1. Added ability to work with tick history in the Market Watch. Previously, a tick chart showed only the history collected in the terminal during its operation. Now, you can access the entire tick history on the trade server. Disable auto scroll and start scrolling a tick chart back in time using your mouse to download missing history from the trade server the same way it is done for common price charts. The new feature will be useful for traders who want to get the most detailed price charts.
   

   
   
   

   Use the CopyTicks() function to receive deeper tick history. It has been modified so that it requests missing history and downloads it if the latter is present on the trade server.
   
   
2. Added an icon for quick opening/closing the Depth of Market. The icon is located near the One-Click Trading panel on the chart. You can also use the new hotkey Alt+B. The hotkey also works in the Market Watch window opening the Depth of Market for a symbol highlighted in the Market Watch.

   
   
   
   

3. Information about the PC hardware characteristics and the operating system is now logged to a Journal at the start of the client terminal. Example:
   

   2015.10.14 14:48:18.486	Data Folder: C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 5
   2015.10.14 14:48:18.486	Windows 7 Professional (x64 based PC), IE 11.00, UAC, 8 x Intel Core i7  920 @ 2.67GHz, RAM: 8116 / 12277 Mb, HDD: 534262 / 753865 Mb, GMT+03:00
   2015.10.14 14:48:18.486	MetaTrader 5 build 1190 started (MetaQuotes Software Corp.)

4. Imrpoved working with the symbols in the Market Watch:
   
   
   • Added display of the amount of symbols in the Market Watch and the total available amount of symbols on the trade server
   • Added a line for adding a new symbol with the smart selection list
     
   • The search in the new symbol line is performed not only by a symbol name, but also by its description and international name.
     

     
     
     

   
   
5. Added support for the economic calendar in different languages.
   
6. Added missing country icons to the economic calendar.
7. Added the hotkey for opening the symbol management window in the Market Watch - Ctrl+U.
8. Fixed arranging open chart windows according to the Window menu commands.
9. Fixed an error that occasionally hampered the terminal's ability to find a certificate file when using the enhanced authentication.
10. Fixed an error that could occasionally lead to a price history synchronization looping.
11. Fixed nulling StopLoss/TakeProfit levels of a previously opened position after its volume has been increased if a symbol is traded in the Request Execution mode.
12. Fixed checking the ability to place a sell order in case of a long position on symbols in "Long only" trading mode in the Depth of Market.
13. Fixed Trailing Stop function operation. In some rare cases, a protective Stop Loss for an open position was moved incorrectly.
14. The terminal interface has been further adapted for high resolution screens (4K).
15. Fixed unloading history data as being excessive despite regular appeals to it from MQL5 programs.
16. Fixed display of some user interface elements when working in Windows 10.
17. Updated translations of the user interface.

Market

1. Market: Operation with the product database in the MQL5 Market has been revised and optimized.
2. Market: Purchasing without an MQL5.community account has been disabled for terminals on VPS. The purchase now requires specification of an MQL5.community account in the terminal setting: Tools - Options - Community.
3. Market: Added direct product purchasing using UnionPay.
4. Market: Enhanced logging when purchasing products in MQL5 Market.
5. Hosting: Added managing the virtual hosting (except for migration) when working in the 32-bit version of the client terminal.

Virtual Hosting and Signals

1. Payments for Virtual Hosting and Signal subscriptions can now be transferred straight from payment systems. To pay for hosting services, users don't need to log in to the MQL5.community account and add money to it. A payment for a service can now be transferred straight from the platform using one of the available payment systems.
   

   
   
   

   Select one of the available systems and make an online money transfer:
   

   
   
   

   
   Similarly, a payment for a trading signal subscription can be made straight from the terminal via a payment system.
   

   
   
   

   
   The required amount will be transferred to your MQL5.community account first, from which a payment for the service will be made. Thus, you maintain a clear and unified history of rented virtual hosting platforms and signal subscriptions and can easily access and review all your payments for the MQL5.community services.
2. Added managing the virtual hosting (except for migration) when working in the 32-bit version of the client terminal.
3. Fixed migration of FTP export settings to the virtual hosting regardless of the permission to publish reports via FTP.

MQL5

1. Enabled a new optimizing compiler. Execution of programs has been accelerated up to 5 times on 64-bit platofrms. MQL5 programs should be re-compiled in the last MetaEditor version.
   
2. Extended MqlTick structure format. Now, it passes the time of a tick arrival in milliseconds, as well as flags to determine which tick parameter has been changed.
   

   struct MqlTick
     {
      datetime     time;          // Time of a price last update
      double       bid;           // Current Bid price
      double       ask;           // Current Ask price
      double       last;          // Current Last price
      ulong        volume;        // Volume for the current Last price
      long         time_msc;      // Time of a price last update in milliseconds
      uint         flags;         // Tick flags
     };

   The parameters of each tick are filled in regardless of whether there are changes compared to the previous tick. Thus, it is possible to find out a correct price for any moment in the past without the need to search for previous values at the tick history. For example, even if only a Bid price changes during a tick arrival, the structure still contains other parameters as well, including the previous Ask price, volume, etc. You can analyze the tick flags to find out what data have been changed exactly:
   
   
   • TICK_FLAG_BID - a tick has changed a Bid price
   • TICK_FLAG_ASK  - a tick has changed an Ask price
   • TICK_FLAG_LAST - a tick has changed the last deal price
   • TICK_FLAG_VOLUME - a tick has changed a volume
   • TICK_FLAG_BUY - a tick is a result of a buy deal
   • TICK_FLAG_SELL - a tick is a result of a sell deal
   
   The MqlTick structure is used in two methods:
   
   
   • CopyTicks - method does not support the old format of the structure. Previously compiled EX5 files using the old tick format will return the error 4006 (ERR_MQL_INVALID_ARRAY) when calling the CopyTicks function.
   • SymbolInfoTick - method supports both old and new structure format.
     
   
   
3. Added class templates allowing you to create parametrized classes like in C++. That enables even greater abstraction and ability to use the same code for working with objects of different classes in a uniform manner. Example of use:

   TemplTest (EURUSD,H1)    Ptr: 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39
   
   
   
4. New operations * and & for receiving a variable by reference and receiving a reference to a variable.
5. Added the overloaded form of the ObjectsDeleteAll function - delete all objects of a specified type by a name prefix in a chart subwindow.
   

   int  ObjectsDeleteAll(
      long           chart_id,   // chart ID
      const string     prefix,   // object name prefix
      int       sub_window=-1,   // window index
      int      object_type=-1    // object type for deletion
      );

   
   
6. Fixed the ObjectGetValueByTime function operation. Previously, an incorrect price value by a chart time could sometimes be returned (for example, for a horizontal trend line).
7. Fixed operation of the Copy* functions in the absence of historical data on the server. Previously, such cases caused delays of 30-50 seconds before returning control.
8. Added a few improvements to the MQL5 Standard Library.
9. Translated the Standard Library documentation into German, French, Chinese, Turkish, Spanish and Portuguese.
10. Added MQL5 documentation in Japanese.

Tester

1. The process of selecting programs to run in the Strategy Tester has become much easier. The list is displayed now as a tree in accordance with the directories in which Expert Advisors and indicators are stored.

   
   
   
   

2. Brought display of some indicators during a visualized test in line with the client terminal.
   
3. Fixed setting a leverage and a chart timeframe while debugging MQL5 programs via the strategy tester.
4. Fixed debugging indicators when testing on history.

Updated documentation.

Now, you can buy any Market application in a single step directly from your MetaTrader 4/5 terminal without registration. Simply click Buy and select the preferred payment method.

Then you will be redirected to the payment system web page to complete your purchase. PayPal, WebMoney, Neteller or a bank card - you can choose how to pay for your purchases from the store of ready-made robots and indicators.

After making a purchase, we still recommend that you register an account on MQL5.community, so that your purchased product is automatically linked to your account. An MQL5 account enables you to update the product and install it on multiple computers. Besides, an MQL5.community account gives you access to a plethora of other services for the MetaTrader platforms such as trading signals for copying deals of successful traders, virtual hosting for continuous operation of your applications and Freelance for ordering unique robots from developers.

Now, you know the quickest and easiest way to obtain a trading robot. More than 5 000 various MetaTrader applications are already waiting for you in the Market - simply choose and buy!

Market

1. We are introducing a new mechanism of "direct" purchasing. Purchasing a trading robot or an indicator from the Market is now even easier, and you do not even need an MQL5.community account.
   
   One-Step Purchase
   A user doesn't need to log in to an MQL5.community account and add money to it. A payment for a product can now be made straight from the platform using one of the available payment systems. To maintain a clear and unified history of purchases from the Market, the required amount will be first transfered to your MQL5.community account, from which a payment for the product will be made.
   
   You can easily access and review all your payments from your MQL5.community Profile.
   

   
   
   

   
   Purchase without Registration
   A product from the Market can be purchased without an MQL5.community account. Click "Buy" and pay for the product using one of the available payment systems.
   

   
   
   

   Then you will be redirected to the payment system web page to complete your purchase.
   

   
   
   

   After that, we strongly recommend you to register an account on MQL5.community, and your purchase will be automatically linked to it. This enables you to update the product and install it on multiple computers.

MetaEditor

1. New features allow to debug Expert Advisors and indicators on history prices. In the older versions debugging required live real time charts.
   
   Now any program can be tested on required history data. Debugging runs in the visual testing mode in the Strategy Tester. An application is executed on a chart with an emulated sequence of ticks in the tester.
   
   Configure the debugging parameters in the MetaEditor settings: symbol, timeframe, interval, execution mode, tick generation mode, initial deposit and leverage. These parameters will be applied for visual testing.
   

   
   
   

   Set the breakpoints in the code, and then start the debugging using historical prices.
   

   
   
   

   This will initiate visual testing and the debugging process.
   

   
   
   

Virtual Hosting

1. Multiple improvements and fixes have been implemented in the Virtual Hosting service.
   
   The major changes apply to operation in Wine on computers running Linux and Mac OS. All the functions are available for allocated virtual servers in Wine, including migration, performance monitoring and logs.
   
   

   
   

   The operation of the Log has also changed. If a user requests too many records, then only part of the first logs for the specified period will be downloaded. This prevents performance degradation resulting from large logs. If you need to download further logs, you no longer need to change the requested period. Simply select the last row in the log viewer window and press PgDn.
   

   
   
   

   
   

Terminal

1. Added support for a special type of non-tradable assets, which can be used as client's assets to provide the required margin for open positions of other instruments. For example, a certain amount of gold in physical form can be available on a trader's account, which can be used as a margin (collateral) for open positions.
   
   Such assets are displayed as open positions. Their value is calculated by the formula: Contract size * Lots * Market Price * Liquidity Rate.
   
   Liquidity Rate here means the share of the asset that a broker allows to use for the margin.

   
   The Assets are added to the client's Equity and increase Free Margin, thus increasing the volumes of allowable trade operations on the account.
   

   Thus, it is now possible to open accounts with various margin types.

   
   

   In the example above, a trader has 1 ounce of gold having the current market value of 1 210.56 USD. This value is added to the equity and the free margin allowing the trader to continue trading even in case of a zero balance.
   
   
2. A new Depth of Market with a tick chart and the Time&Sales data of trades.
   
   A tick chart of exchange instruments with real transaction prices is now displayed in the Depth of Market. All transactions conducted on the Exchange are plotted on this chart:
   
   
   • Red circles - Sell transactions
   • Blue circles - Buy transactions
   • Green circles - the direction of the transaction is undefined. It is used when the exchange does not transmit the direction of a transaction. In this case, the direction is determined based on the price of the transaction as compared to prices bid and ask. A Buy transaction is that executed at the ask price or above, a Sell transaction is executed at the bid price or lower. The direction is undefined, if the price of the transaction is between the bid and the ask.
     
   
   The larger the circle, the greater is the volume of the transaction. Transaction volumes are also shown as a histogram below the tick chart.
   

   
   
   

   At the top and bottom of the histogram, the total volumes of the current Buy and Sell offers are shown.
   
   
3. The symbol selection dialog box now contains a column showing the symbol expiration date. Additionally, expired instruments can be hidden from the list. Expired contracts are automatically replaced with active ones.
   

   
   
   

   All expired symbols are hidden to preserve a more compact display. This is particularly useful when working on the futures market. A non-relevant symbol is the expired one, which is defined by the "Last trade" parameter. This date is specified in the "Expiration" column. To see all the symbols, click "Show expired contracts".
   The list of symbols is automatically sorted for a more convenient display:
   
   
   • first listed are the symbols without the expiration date
   • they are followed by the symbols with an expiration date starting with the nearest date
   • then expired symbols are shown starting with the last expired one
   • other symbols sorted alphabetically
   
   Option "Auto remove expired" in the context menu allows to replace expired symbols with active ones in the "Market Watch" window.
   

   
   
   

   After terminal restart, expired symbols are hidden, and active ones are added instead. For example, the expired futures contract LKOH 3.15 will be replaced by the next contact of the same underlying asset LKOH 6.15.
   
   Symbols in the appropriate open charts are also replaced, provided there are no running Expert Advisors on them.
   
   
4. Fixed updating of trade button states in the Depth Of Market window depending on whether there are any positions, and on the permission to open only long positions. If there are no positions, the Close button is inactive. If opening short positions is not allowed, the Sell button is inactive.
   
5. The terminal interface has been further adapted for high resolution screens (4K).
6. Fixed verification of the volume of a closed position in the Request Execution mode, in case a deal volume is less than the minimum allowable value.
7. Fixed an error that could occasionally lead to launch of multiple terminal instances from one directory.
8. Added support and automatic filtering of the economic calendar in different languages. Filtering is performed in accordance with the language of the terminal interface.
   
9. The Log Viewer now features search through the currently displayed logs.
   

   
   
   

   It searches for a word/phrase in the displayed list of logs.
10. Added Thai translation of the client terminal.
11. Updated translation of the client terminal into Hindi.

MQL5

1. New function GetMicrosecondCount returns the number of microseconds that have passed since the start of the MQL5 program:
   

   ulong  GetMicrosecondCount();

   This function can be used to profile program execution and identify "bottlenecks".
   
   
2. New chart property CL_BUFFER_SIZE in the ENUM_OPENCL_PROPERTY_INTEGER enumeration - it returns the actual size of the OpenCL buffer in bytes. The property can be received via the CLGetInfoInteger function.
3. An error notification in the WebRequest function has been modified. If an error occurs, the 'result' array will contain the description of the error.
4. The ArraySort, ArrayBsearch, ArrayMinimum and ArrayMaximum sort and search functions are now able to work with multidimensional arrays. Sort and search are performed only by the first (zero) array index. Previously, these functions worked only with one-dimensional arrays.
5. Fixed some bugs in the compilation of macros.

Tester

1. Some improvements and bug fixes in the operation of the visual testing. The tester now provides a smoother control of testing speed using the toolbar.

Fixed errors reported in crash logs.

Updated documentation.

The update is available through the LiveUpdate system.

Tester

1. A status of connection to MQL5 Cloud Network is now displayed in the Agents Manager. This allows users to easily check if they can receive tasks from the cloud computing network after they install agents.
   

   
   
   

   
   

2. Some improvements and bug fixes have been made in the operation of the Strategy Tester. Time spent on intermediate preparatory operations and network latency has been significantly reduced. Testing and optimization are now faster in all operating modes: working with local testing agents, with a farm of agents in the local network and using MQL5 Cloud Network.

Trading Terminal

1. Added display of the number of unread emails in the "Mailbox" tab of the Toolbox window.
   

   
   
   

   
   
2. The Navigator window now contains the list of Expert Advisors running on the active trading account. In addition to the Expert Advisor name, a chart on which the EA is running is specified in the list. An icon indicates whether the EA is allowed to trade.
   

   
   
   

   
   The context menu contains commands for enabling or disabling automated trading for any of the Expert Advisors, as well as for viewing its properties or removing it from the chart.
3. Improved accuracy of the algorithm for determining access points available for connection to a trading server.
4. Fixed an error that could occasionally clean the database of client accounts when a terminal was reinstalled over an existing one.
5. The terminal interface has been further adapted for high resolution screens (4K).

Market

1. Fixed updating of the MQL5 account balance after purchasing or renting a product.

Virtual Hosting

1. Fixed migration of custom indicators to the virtual hosting environment.
2. Fixed updating of the virtual hosting status in the Navigator window.

MQL5

1. Fixed errors which could occasionally interfere with the optimization of Expert Advisors in MQL5 Cloud Network.
2. Fixed call of OnDeinit when deleting an Expert Advisor using the ExpertRemove function during testing. Previously, under the conditions described the OnDeinit event was not called.
3. Fixed errors in use of resources in EX5 libraries.
4. Fixed errors in the analysis of macros.
   

Fixed errors reported in crash logs.

Updated documentation.

The update is available through the LiveUpdate system.

Trading Terminal

1. Preparatory works for virtual hosting support in MetaTrader 5 platform. Virtual hosting service allows you to rent a terminal that operates around the clock with no interruptions directly from your MetaTrader 5. One of the main features is selection of a server located closest to the broker's server minimizing network latency.
   

   
   
   

   
   

2. Tester agents now can work only in the 64-bit systems. This decision is driven by the need to follow the development of the IT industry. Switching to the new technologies increases computing performance and enables further development of MQL5 Cloud Network.

   
   
   

   Changes in the platform components:
   

   • Remote agents and MQL5 Cloud Network agents are no longer available for use in the 32-bit terminals. Instead of the agent list, "Available only in the 64-bit version" message is displayed.
   • MetaTester 5 Agents Manager is available only in the 64-bit version. Thus, it is possible to install the agents only on the 64-bit systems.

   
   

3. Fixed news filtration by language when the language list is specified manually in the terminal settings.
4. Optimized work with a large number of open orders.
5. Accelerated sending trade requests.
6. The interface has been adapted for high resolution screens - Full HD and higher.

MQL5 Language

1. Added the new form of WebRequest function:
   

   int WebRequest (string method, string url,string headers,int timeout, const char &data[], int data_size,char &result[], string &result_headers)

   This function allows you to explicitly form the contents of an HTTP request header providing more flexible mechanism for interacting with various Web services.
   
   
2. Added new trade account properties. The properties are available via AccountInfoDouble function.
   
   
   • ACCOUNT_MARGIN_INITIAL - current initial margin of an account.
   • ACCOUNT_MARGIN_MAINTENANCE - current maintenance margin of an account.
   • ACCOUNT_ASSETS - current account assets.
   • ACCOUNT_LIABILITIES - current account liabilities.
   • ACCOUNT_COMMISSION_BLOCKED - current blocked account commission.
     
     
3. Added new trade symbol properties:
   
   
   • SYMBOL_OPTION_STRIKE - option contract strike price. The property is received by SymbolInfoDouble function.
     
   • SYMBOL_BASIS - trade symbol's underlying asset name. The property is received by SymbolInfoString function.
   • SYMBOL_OPTION_MODE - option mode, the value is set using ENUM_SYMBOL_OPTION_MODE enumeration. 
   • SYMBOL_OPTION_RIGHT - option right, the value is set using ENUM_SYMBOL_OPTION_RIGHT enumeration. The property is received by SymbolInfoInteger function.
     
     
4. Added SymbolInfoMarginRate function - receiving the value of the initial and maintenance margin charge ratio according to a trade order type and direction.
   
5. Fixed ChartIndicatorName function operation in the strategy tester.
6. Fixed compilation of the macros containing name substitution using ##.
7. Fixed end-of-file indicator reset error when opening a new file.

Fixed errors reported in crash logs.

Updated documentation.

The update will be available through the LiveUpdate system.

Trading Terminal

1. Implementation of functions for trading options is currently underway. The Option Strategy Builder has been added. It helps users combine different options in one investment portfolio, and to assess the possibilities and potential risks.
   

   
   
   

   The Builder is easy to use: a trader chooses the option based on the expiration date and the underlying asset, and then selects one of the more than 30 available strategies. The Builder displays the appropriate combination of options and calculates evaluation parameters - the so-called Greeks.

8. Updated translation of user interface into German.
9. Added translation of user interface into Greek and Uzbek.

MQL5 Language

1. New function for working with the tick history CopyTicks. The function is used for receiving an array of ticks accumulated by the terminal for the current session. The depth is limited to the last 2000 ticks.
   
   The new function expands the possibilities for developing scalping trading robots. The OnTick function does not handle every tick, it notifies the Expert Advisor of market changes. It can be a batch of changes: the terminal can simultaneously make a few ticks, but OnTick will be called only once to notify the EA of the latest market state. The CopyTicks function allows you to receive and analyze all the ticks.
   

   int  CopyTicks(
      const string      symbol_name,           // Symbol name
      MqlTick           &ticks_array[],        // the array where ticks will be placed
      uint              flags=COPY_TICKS_ALL,  // the flag that defines the type of received ticks
      ulong             from=0,                // the date starting from which ticks will be received, specified in milliseconds since 01.01.1970
      uint              count=0                // the number of latest ticks that should be received
      );

   Ticks can be requested by the date if the 'from' value is specified, or based on their number using the 'count' value. If none of the parameters are specified, all available ticks are received, but not more than 2000. Ticks can also be requested based on their type using the 'flags' parameter. Available values:
   
   
   • COPY_TICKS_ALL - all ticks.
     
   • COPY_TICKS_INFO - only information ticks (Bid and Ask).
     
   • COPY_TICKS_TRADE - only trade ticks (Last and Volume).
     
   
   
2. Added an option for overloading template functions using array parameters.
3. Added an option for overloading a method based on its constancy.
   
4. Added generation of the CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_MOVE event (in the OnChartEvent entry point) at the right mouse button click on the chart.
5. Fixed the functioning of the Switch operator if the case condition contains a negative value.
6. Improved calculation accuracy in functions ObjectGetValueByTime() and ObjectGetTimeByValue(), used for receiving the price value for the specified object time and vice versa - time value for a price.

   //+------------------------------------------------------------------+
   

2. Added the OBJPROP_ANCHOR property for the "Bitmap" and "Bitmap Label" objects. The property defines the anchor point of the graphical object on the chart: the upper left corner, center left, lower left corner, bottom center, etc.
3. Added reading of the CHART_BRING_TO_TOP chart property (the chart is on top of all the others) in the ChartGetInteger function.
   
4. Fixed the compilation and generation of the ternary operator "?".
5. Fixed passing of a class member static array.
6. Fixed applying of a template to the list of initialization of the template constructor class members.

Trading signals

1. Restrictions on signal subscriptions became milder:
   
   If the trading history of the signal contains symbols that are not available in the subscriber's terminal, the subscription is now allowed (was prohibited in previous versions). The actions with the positions for which the subscriber does not have symbols are ignored. The following log appears in the Journal:
   2014.08.26 16:44:29.036    '2620818': Signal - symbol GBPNZD not found
   
   If the subscriber has positions and/or pending orders, a warning dialog suggesting to close/delete them appears (as before). Now, however, it is not an obligatory condition to continue working with signals.
   

   
   
   

   Synchronization with the signal provider will be performed. Positions and orders that were opened not based on the subscription signal are left unchanged. The user can perform any operations with them.
   
   Users can now perform trade operations manually (or using an Expert Advisor), being signed to a signal. The Signals service will ignore the positions and orders opened by the trader.
   Keep in mind that placing orders manually affects the amount of available margin on the trading account. Opening positions manually increases the overall load on the account as compared with the signal provider's account.
2. Added support for a copied percent for the volumes with a floating point. The minimum percentage of copied volumes for signals has been reduced from 1% to 0.001%.

Strategy tester

1. Fixed freezing of testing agents when working with the MQL5 Cloud Network.
2. Fixed calculation of swaps in points for the minimal volumes of trading positions.

2. Optimized work with a large number of trading symbols (thousands and tens of thousands).
3. Fixed display of alerts on the price chart. The alert's price level was sometimes displayed in the indicator's subwindow.
4. Updated interface translations into Chinese, Turkish and Japanese.
5. Fixed displaying the list of chart templates in the application's main menu.

MetaEditor

1. Fixed text replacement when the list of MetaAssist tips is collapsed.

Fixed errors reported in crash logs.

Updated documentation.

The update is available through the LiveUpdate system.

Market

1. Another new product category has been added to MetaTrader AppStore following trading and financial magazines - Books. Now, you can purchase the works of well-known traders and analysts along with trading robots and indicators. The range of books is increasing daily.
   

   
   
   

   Just like MetaTrader 5 applications, books can be purchased at MQL5.community Market as well as directly via MetaTrader 5 terminal. All books are accompanied by descriptions and screenshots:
   

   
   
   

   
   Before making a purchase, you can download a preview - the first few pages of a book. The exact number of available pages is defined by a seller.
   
   To buy a book, you should have an MQL5.com account and the necessary amount of funds on it. The account data should be specified at the Community tab of the terminal settings:
   

   
   
   

   Click Buy on the book's page to purchase it. Purchase confirmation dialog appears:
   

   
   
   

   To continue, agree to the rules of using the Market service and enter your MQL5.community password. After that, the specified amount of funds will be withdrawn from your account and the book will be downloaded. Buy button will be replaced by Open one.
   
   Book files are downloaded to My Documents\MQL5 Market\Books\. The download may be performed in two formats:
   
   
   • MQB - this protected format is used for paid books. When purchasing and downloading a book file, it is encoded so that it can be opened only on the PC it has been downloaded to. Generation of an encoded copy is called activation. Each book can be activated at least 5 times on different hardware. Book sellers can increase the number of activations at their sole discretion.
   • PDF - this format is used for free books and previews. After downloading, such file can be moved and viewed on other devices.
   
   The special component called MetaViewer has been added to MetaTrader 5 terminal allowing users to view book files. MetaViewer is a convenient application for viewing books and magazines in MQB and PDF formats. Keyboard arrows are used to turn over the pages: left and right arrows - for page-by-page navigation, while up and down arrows - for scrolling.

   
   

   
   

Trading terminal

1. Fixed display of Fibonacci Fan graphical object's levels when zooming. A layout could be displaced in earlier builds.
   
2. Fixed an error that in some cases prevented graphical objects from being drawn on the chart.
3. Fixed errors and terminal crashes when working in Wine (for Linux and Mac OS), including crashes that occurred while opening the user guide.
   
4. Updated translation of the interface into Arabic.

Market

1. Revised display of products in MetaTrader AppStore. Applications, magazines and books feature new design:
   

   
   
   

2. Market: Fixed resumed download of large files (primarily, magazines and books) from the Market.

MQL5 Language

1. Changed StringSplit function operation. Previously, ";A;" string was split into NULL and "A" substrings using ';' separator. Now, it is split into "","A" and "" substrings.
2. Fixed checking and tracking parameter and operand constancy.

Trading Signals

1. Added additional checks for the allowed trading modes at a symbol when copying signals. If a signal arrives at a subscriber's account but only closing of positions is allowed at that symbol, this will no longer cause complete termination of signals copying and forced closing of all positions. Now, if a signal for position opening arrives at a subscriber's account, the platform perceives that as the command to synchronize subscriber's and provider's accounts. A signal for position closing is handled as usual.

Strategy Tester

1. Added interface translations into French, Japanese and Arabic. Updated translations into German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish and Chinese.

MetaEditor

1. Fixed highlighting and navigation through a hieroglyphic text.
2. Fixed selecting a default trading symbol during an MQL5 application profiling. The default symbol is specified in Debug tab of MetaEditor options.
   
3. Fixed display of the tab characters in search results. Previously, the tab characters were ignored and string content was displayed with no spaces.

Fixed errors reported in crash logs.

The update will be available through the LiveUpdate system.

Trading terminal

1. Fixed errors and crashes when working in Wine (for Linux, Mac).
2. Fixed display of Gann Grid graphical object's central line when zooming.

MQL5 Language

1. Fixed an occasional error when downloading .ex5 files.
2. Fixed operation of StringToCharArray and StringToTime functions.

1. Market: Added new product category in MetaTrader AppStore — Magazines. Now, users can buy not only trading applications but also trading and financial magazines quickly and easily.

   

   Just like MetaTrader 5 applications, magazines can be purchased at MQL5.community Market as well as directly via MetaTrader 5 terminal. All magazines are accompanied by detailed descriptions and screenshot galleries:

   

   The latest magazine issues are always displayed in the showcase, while the previous ones can be found on the Archive tab.

   To buy a magazine, you should have an MQL5.com account and the necessary amount of funds on it. The account data should be specified at the Community tab of the terminal settings:

   

   Click Buy on the magazine's page to purchase it. Purchase confirmation dialog appears:

   

   To continue, agree to the rules of using the Market service and enter your MQL5.community password. After that, the specified amount of funds will be withdrawn from your account and the magazine will be downloaded. Buy button will be replaced by Open one.

   Magazine files are downloaded to My Documents\MQL5 Market\Magazines\[Magazine name]\[Issue name]. The download may be performed in two formats:

   • MQB - this protected format is used for paid magazines. When purchasing and downloading a magazine file, it is encoded so that it can be opened only on the PC it has been downloaded to. Generation of an encoded copy is called activation. Each magazine can be activated at least 5 times on different hardware. Magazine sellers can increase the number of activations at their sole discretion.

   • PDF - this format is used for free magazines. After downloading, such file can be moved and viewed on other devices.

   The special component called MetaViewer has been added to MetaTrader 5 terminal allowing users to view MQB files. This application is launched when you click Open at the downloaded magazine page. If User Account Control system is enabled on the user's PC, the user will be prompted to allow the terminal to associate MQB files with MetaViewer during the first launch. After the association, MQB files are automatically opened in MetaViewer when launched from Windows file explorer.

   

   If you click ÎÊ, the files are associated and the selected magazine issue is opened in MetaViewer immediately. If you click Cancel, only the magazine issue is opened.

   

   MetaViewer is a convenient application for viewing books and magazines in MQB and PDF formats. Keyboard arrows are used to turn over the pages: left and right arrows - for page-by-page navigation, while up and down arrows - for scrolling. MetaViewer menu and control panel contain additional commands for setting the journal's view and navigation:

   • File - commands for opening the files and exiting the program.
   • View - display settings: interface language, page look, enabling control panel and status bar, as well as page rotation.
   • Navigation - navigation commands: switching between the pages, moving to the first, last or selected page.
   • Zoom - page scale management commands: zooming in and out, fitting height, width and actual page size.
   • Help - information about the program and useful links.

2. Terminal: Added MQL tab to EX5 file properties. The tab contains the program's icon as well as its name and description specified in the application's source code via the appropriate #property parameters.

   

   The tab appears only after MetaViewer is registered in the system. If a current user has sufficient rights and User Account Control system is disabled, MetaViewer is registered automatically during the terminal's first launch after the update. Otherwise, the user will see the dialog window requesting a one-time elevation of rights for MetaViewer during the first attempt to open a magazine.

   

3. Terminal: Added MQL5.community fast registration dialog in case a user has no account. Now, an MQL5.community account can be created without the need to leave the terminal.

   

   Specify login and email address in the registration window. After clicking Register, an email for MQL5.community account activation is sent to the specified address.

   MQL5.community account allows traders to use additional powerful services:

   • MetaTrader 5 AppStore - users can buy MetaTrader 5 apps or download them for free directly from the terminal. MetaTrader 5 AppStore offers hundreds of various applications and their number is constantly increasing.
   • Signals - users can subscribe to trading signals provided by professional traders and make profit. Trading operations are automatically copied from provider's account to subscriber's one. The service also allows selling your own trading signals. A trading account can be connected to the monitoring system in a few clicks.
   • Jobs - a freelance service allowing customers to securely order the development of MetaTrader 4 and 5 applications. The orders are executed by experienced programmers. The service also allows you to make profit by developing programs ordered by customers.

4. Terminal: Added information about margin charging rates for various order types, as well as the list of spreads that may include orders and positions for the symbol, to the trading symbol data dialog.

   

   Margin Rates:

   A multiplier for calculating margin requirements relative to the margin's main amount is specified for each order type. The main amount of margin is calculated depending on the specified calculation method (Forex, Futures, etc.).

   • Long positions rate
   • Short positions rate
   • Limit orders rate
   • Stop orders rate
   • Stop-Limit orders rate

   Calculation of margin requirements is described in details in the client terminal user guide.

   Spreads:

   The margin can be charged on preferential basis in case trading positions are in spread relative to each other. The spread is defined as the presence of the oppositely directed positions at related symbols. Reduced margin requirements provide traders with more trading opportunities.

   The spread has two legs - A and B. The legs are the oppositely directed positions in a spread - buy or sell. The leg type is not connected with some definite position direction (buy or sell). It is important that trader's positions at all leg's symbols are either long or short.

   Several symbols with their own volume rates can be set for each spread leg. These rates are shown in parentheses, for example, LKOH-3.13 (1).

   Take a look at the following example:

   • leg À consists of GAZR-9.12 and GAZR-3.13 symbols having the ratios of 1 and 2 respectively;
   • leg  consists of GAZR-6.13 symbol having the ratio of 1.

   To keep positions in the spread, a trader should open positions of 1 and 2 lots for GAZR-9.12 and GAZR-3.13 respectively in one direction and a position of 1 lot for GAZR-6.13 in another.

   Margin column displays margin charging type at this spread:

   • Specific values mean charging a fixed margin for a spread in a specified volume. The first value specifies the volume of the initial margin, while the second one specifies the volume of the maintenance one.

   • Maximal - initial and maintenance margin values are calculated for each spread leg. The calculation is performed by summing up the margin requirements for all leg symbols. The margin requirements of the leg having a greater value will be used for the spread.

   • CME Inter Spread - the rates (in percentage value) for margin are specified: the first one is for the initial margin, while the second is for the maintenance one. The total margin value will be defined by summing up the margin requirements for all symbols of the spread and multiplying the total value by the specified rate.

   • CME Intra Spread - two values for margin increase are specified: the first value is for the initial margin, while the second is for the maintenance one. During the calculation, the difference between the total margin of A leg symbols and the total margin of B leg symbols is calculated (the difference in absolute magnitude is used, so that it does not matter what leg is a deductible one). According to the type of the calculated margin, the first (for the initial margin) or the second (for the maintenance one) value is added to the obtained difference.

   The specified margin is charged per spread unit - for the specified combination of positions. If any part of the position does not fit the spread, it will be charged by an additional margin according to the symbol settings. If the client's current positions have the volume the specified combination fits in several times, the charged margin is increased appropriately. For example, suppose that A and B symbols with the ratios of 1 and 2 are in spread. If a client has positions for these symbols with the volumes of 3 and 4 respectively, the total margin size is equal to the doubled value from the spread settings (two spreads: 1 lot of A and 2 lots of B, 1 lot of A and 2 lots of B) plus the margin for the single remaining A symbol lot.

   Spreads are described in details in the client terminal user guide.

5. Terminal: Fixed the depth of market freezing when the best bid price is higher than the best ask one.
6. Terminal: Fixed setting the fill policy type for market trade requests depending on the trade symbol's execution type and allowed filling modes.
7. Terminal: Fixed display of incorrect SL and TP values in the position open dialog in case there is a position with placed SL and TP levels and the levels are placed "In Points". Incorrect SL and TP level values in points have previously been inserted to these fields. Beginning with the new build, the values in the above mentioned case are displayed in prices regardless of the level placing mode.
8. Terminal: Fixed occasional incomplete display of the trading history for the current day.
9. Terminal: Reduced memory consumption during MQL5 Code Base and MQL5 Market operation.
10. Terminal: Fixed working with context menus when using touch screen devices powered by Microsoft Windows 8 or higher.

11. Market: Added product activation confirmation dialog displaying the number of remaining activations.

    

    Each application purchased in MetaTrader AppStore is additionally protected, so that it can be launched only on the PC it has been downloaded to during the purchase. Generation of an encoded copy is called activation. Each product can be activated at least 5 times on different hardware. Sellers can increase the number of activations at their sole discretion.

    The new dialog protects users from wasting activations by informing that their number is limited.

12. MQL5: Fixed crash when initializing primitive type arrays by a sequence.
13. MQL5: Fixed errors when working with #ifdef/#else/#endif conditional compilation macros.
14. MQL5: MQL5 language compiler moved to MetaEditor. The compiler will be available for download as a separate .exe file.

15. Signals: Added information about a signal, to which an account is subscribed, to the Navigator window:

    

    If the account is subscribed to the signal, the appropriate icon with the signal's name is shown for it. When hovering the mouse cursor over the name, the subscription's expiration date is displayed. The context menu contains commands for viewing the signal and unsubscribing from it. The latter one is displayed only if the appropriate trading account is currently active in the terminal.

    The subscription icon makes working with signals more convenient.

16. Signals: Added legend for equity, growth, balance and distribution graphs. Also, marks displaying funds depositing and withdrawal have been added to the equity graph. When hovering the mouse cursor over the balance operation triangle, a tooltip with the operation sum is displayed:

    

17. MetaEditor: Fixed the loss of focus in the code editing window that occurred after the first compilation.
18. MetaEditor: Fixed automatic scrolling of the compilation window to the first warning if there are no errors.
19. MetaEditor: Fixed highlighting predefined _DEBUG and _RELEASE macros in the source code.
20. MetaEditor: Fixed operation of snippets if the automatic entering of line indentations is disabled.
21. Fixed errors reported in crash logs.

MetaTrader Trading Signals

1. Fixed comparison of Forex trading symbols of EURUSD <=> EURUSD.ABC form in case there are several symbols having similar main part (EURUSD), and trading is disabled for one of them.

2. Fixed signals copying when performing balance and credit operations on the subscriber's account. The total amount of client's funds is changed after a balance/credit operation is performed. If the percentage value of signals copying has decreased by more than 1% afterwards (the volume of copied trades is calculated considering the ratio of the subscriber's and provider's balance), the subscriber's account is forcedly synchronized with the provider's one. This is done to correct the subscriber's current positions according to the new copying percentage value.

   If the subscriber's funds have increased due to the balance or credit operation, no forced synchronization is performed.

3. Fixed copying positions in case Fill or Kill (FOK) market order execution mode is forbidden.

3. Multidimensional arrays of primitive types can now be initialized by a one-dimensional sequence:

4. int a[2][2]={0,1,2,3}; 

   Previously, the following entry has been necessary

   int a[2][2]={{0,1},{2,3}};

5. Fixed an error when the call of Bars() function sometimes did not lead to reconfiguration of the price history caches when it was necessary.

MetaEditor

1. The works on using the single compiler and MQL5 IDE for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 are underway:

   MQL5 on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5

   Instead of working on MQL4 -> MQL5 compatibility, we have decided to go the opposite way. We have transferred the maximum possible amount of MQL5 language functions and features fully preserving MQL4 functionality. In other words, all powerful MQL5 functions, including ООP and the native code compiler, will become available in MQL4. To achieve this, we have developed a unified compiler that automatically supports both MQL4 and MQL5 languages. MetaEditor will also become a unified application both for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms. Thus, it will be possible to compile both MQL4 and MQL5 from any version.

   MQL5 Storage with MetaTrader 4
   It will be easier for developers to manage source code versions, participate in team operations and synchronize files.

   Improving the security of application codes in MetaTrader 4
   New EX4/EX5 files are provided with a serious and completely revised protection, as compared to the old EX4.

   Market of MetaTrader 4 applications
   Transition to the new compiler that supports resources and conventional protection suited for each user's PC will allow users to develop and sell full-fledged applications. There is no need to worry about the protection of EX4/EX5 files sold via the Market - they do not contain bytecode but only a pure native code signed by our private key. This solution puts in order all the diversity of existing programs and protects the sellers.

2. Fixed highlighting MetaAssist entry points.
3. Fixed search without considering letter case in the line consisting of non-Latin characters.

What is social trading? It is a mutually beneficial cooperation of traders and investors whereby successful traders allow monitoring of their trading and potential investors take the opportunity to monitor their performance and copy trades of those who look more promising.

You monitor real-time trading of a number of traders, connect to the most successful ones and copy their trades in automatic mode - that's what social trading is about. For novice and inexperienced traders who have just turned to financial markets for additional income, it is probably the best opportunity to actually start trading.

You do not need to be a professional trader with a great bundle of knowledge and skills in order to trade professionally. Nor do you need to follow and analyze the news from financial markets, work out and implement trading strategies and be prepared to change the ones that fail to keep monitoring their performance in the new market conditions. Thanks to social trading it all becomes unnecessary since you can simply copy trades of all those who follow the news, analyze markets and create profitable strategies.    

Is it difficult to start mirror trading and how much does it take? While hedge fund investing was not available to many due to high entry threshold (hundreds of thousands and millions of dollars), social trading is a highly affordable system available to absolutely any trader with any income level. It opens up access to a large market with vast opportunities that you, too, can use.

Social trading advantages are obvious:

• Additional income for both traders and investors
  
• Investment diversification
  
• Opportunity to connect to the most successful traders and automatically mirror their trades
• Low entry threshold: you can start with a minimum budget
• Practice opportunities: you can trade on demo accounts in a training mode
• Time saving
• High operability and user-friendly interface

Ready to take the opportunities offered by social trading but don't know where to start? MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 are the most famous and popular platforms for social and mirror trading, with Trading Signals service being a very convenient, advanced social trading feature offered in these platforms. Social trading with the MetaTrader platforms is very straightforward: the user chooses the signal directly in the terminal, subscribes to it and from that moment on all trades are copied in his account.

Social trading with MetaTrader will allow you to monitor trading activity and profitability of successful traders, and most importantly, copy their trades. If you see a positive trend in performance of one of the traders whose signal is available for subscription, go ahead with it and start copying his trades. The trading terminal will automatically mirror all trades of the signals provider in your account, without any manual intervention necessary.

So, after subscribing the trader can earn money using the Signals service, without effort, skills or trading experience.

After all, social trading should be simple and straightforward to be easily understood by traders with any background. We cannot but admit it. In this light, MetaTrader trading signals appear to be perfectly adequate. They are available to any user, regardless of their trading experience. Here, you are not required to sign an agreement with a provider of the selected signal or a broker, nor is there any paperwork or manual control necessary. Everything is done automatically.

All you need is to specify your broker and enter the number of your account on the broker's server. Nothing more than that. Subscription process will take very little time. The description of a step-by-step subscription procedure is available in the article entitled "How to Subscribe to Trading Signals". After reading it, you will subscribe to the signal of your choice quickly and easily. 

Despite being seemingly complicated, choosing a provider of the suitable signal has been made as simple as possible - the Trading Signals section features a regularly updated list of providers. By default, signals on the list are sorted by quality ensuring that top positions are taken by signals with higher credibility and better financial performance. However, for your convenience trading signals can also be sorted by monthly growth, number of subscribers, price and other parameters.

Social trading with the MetaTrader trading platforms is easy, straightforward and available to everyone. Out of thousands of available signals providers, you just need to choose the one that suits you more and measures up to your parameters!
